The rack should be rigid and strong with the ability to hold deep components. I was recently in a position where I needed to replace my existing rack. Higher end racks can set you back anywhere from £300-£700, while a bespoke rack can run into the thousands. This Norstone Bergen rack is a great option, though the three-legged design can interfere with the connections on deep components. Cheap racks such as this or This offer a good basic support, though they won’t safely support a significant amount of weight, nor will they support large components. Plenty of dedicated furniture exists to house systems of all shapes and sizes, though they vary widely in price, features, style and quality. Even with a small system comprised of one or two units, correct storage of your hi-fi is a must to get the best from your equipment and even to prolong its life. I was thinking about putting a Retron 5 on one of the shelves, this would require downward force and I will only put that there if I can get 40-50 lbs with out a failureĪny other thoughts for modifying these would be welcome.This entry was posted in Tutorials and tagged hi-fi Hi-Fi Rack Ikea Tutorials on Maby AshleyĪs your hi-fi system grows, proper storage of your components becomes increasingly important.
And from those results, I will see how I need to move forward with this. The question is, does the wall fail, or does the shelf itself fail. I am sure with some modification it should be able do this. I really need these to be able to handle 20ish lbs before getting any stress. Then I will start at 10 lbs, then go to 15, 20, and see where it stands at 25. This will hit the dead center of a stud and one wall anchor. I will be setting 1 up in a closet (so if I damage the wall, It's not in public view and I can fix later). Then I will grab a wall anchor that is tested for over 60lbs. so I am going to grab 2 of them for testing(next week), I"ll pull off the 2 screw bracket on there and run over to Home deport or something like that and see if I can find a 4 screw replacement for both of them (this should grip better). If anyone has ANY other ideas, let me know. So they should take MOST consoles with out a problem but, I worry about it, it's just not enough for extras, like a bunch of games, or controllers charging.Īnyone do REAL world weight testing on these and is there any way besides always hitting a stud to make these really strong to hold 20 maybe even 30 pounds (just to be ULTRA safe).įigured one place to find this is out is Reddit.
A stack of consoles, all ready to use with no visible wires.Īnyway, the limit of these say about 7 pounds. I saw larger ones but, I like the look of the single floating console.īehind the wall where I am thinking is a unfinished laundry room, So I was going to pop holes behind the consoles, run all power, video so you cant see a single wire, even the external drive for the Xbox one X could be hidden. These are not cart based systems (besides the switch) so downward force should not be that bad. They seem a good size to be able to handle a game console (Xbox one X, PS4, Switch, WiiU, etc) and a few would be nice in a nice stack.
